Does anyone know what a bachelor of arts degree is?
A BA is a degree that can be a degree in literally anything....for literally any job. (You can do a BA in science for example).
It depends upon the majors that this student wants to learn and continue with as a profession. These majors should be something that your neighbour really likes/loves/has interests in/finds enjoyable etc to learn or to do.
I'd seriously suggest that this student gets advice from their school's guidance councillor where they can discuss the things that they enjoy/hate and take it from there. This would be your friends first step just to add a little clarity (...and is the purpose of schools hiring guidance councillors).
Note: once at Uni many (MANY) people change their major if/when they find it's not what they had expected.....and there's also councillors at Uni's to help out.
(I did a science degree where I went from the general biology of animals/plants to animals only, then to only certain animals, then to only a couple of these animals, then to the biochemistry of only one of these animals (the one I enjoyed the most).....and this took years).
Your neighbour would be wise to seek advice and follow what they really find enjoyable.
I wish them well in their studies.
